From Med School to 350K+ Subscribers: Teaching That Actually Works

If you are a student, especially in medical school, and want to teach medicine, I urge you to start without any experience. Just start and then learn along the way. And the beautiful thing about the teaching is that when you teach, you learn more. When you teach, um, you, the information that you've learned stays in the brain for a longer period of time, and you can build on that one easier.

So teaching is actually the best form of learning. When we recorded this episode, Taim Dawod was still practicing medicine and building his YouTube channel on the side. Well, since then, a lot has changed. For one, he's almost grown to nearly 400,000 subscribers.

He shifted from being a doctor, medicine, creating content to just creating on - focusing on educational content full-time. And now he has a film selected for TREF, which is an Educational Film Festival, which is going to be amazing, and I'll be actually one of the keynote speakers this year, which we're super excited about. So what I like about this episode though is listening back to what he had to say back in 2024. It's not just growth that stands out, but it's his approach.

He actually teaches a lot in a way that he wants to learn. He talks about being very visual and wanting to learn that way. And of course, medicine, anatomy, which which we talked about during this episode, is very visual. And this has actually been able to scale for him very well.

And he's been able to go beyond just using video, but is using video as a primary mechanism to reach out. And if you read some of the comments, and I encourage you to go out, find his YouTube channel, we'll link to it down below, go read some of the comments from the people who have benefited from this content. I hope you enjoy the rest of this episode as I look back with time on his journey from medical doctor YouTube creator. We've got Taim Dawood, and he's a 29-year-old newly graduated medical doctor from Norway running a medical educational YouTube channel which was made in the early days of med school.

He started his channel during, during his first year of medical school with an aim to simplify difficult concepts in medicine and help other people learn in a faster and easier way. With that said, please help me welcome Taim to the Visual Lounge. Well, welcome. Thank you very much.

Thank you for that beautiful introduction. Well, thank you for being here. We appreciate you, you know, bridging time zones to meet at a time after a long day at the hospital. What's one tip that you would give our audience about, you know, making, creating videos that might help them in their work?

Well, I can give tips based on my experience, and I started this medical YouTube educational channel during my medical school, during my first year of medical school. And, um, I started without any background knowledge on how to edit videos and how to teach online, how to make YouTube videos or anything. So if one, I have a lot of tips, but just if I only had one tip I could give is start even though you don't have any experience, because you will learn along the way. That's basically how I did.

Uh, I just started making my first videos really bad. Those people who follow my YouTube channel from the beginning, they know how my old videos used to be and how my new videos are. So you basically learn along the way. So start even though you don't have any experience.

I love that because that's, I mean, that's great advice because that's the only way you're going to get better is by getting going. I'm curious and I want to, I want to have this conversation because I think you're in a unique position. I don't know personally how many doctors are out there who are also running YouTube channels? I'm guessing there's a handful of you, but it's probably not like a million.

It's probably not even 100,000. You know, it's probably maybe 100, couple hundred. And I'm curious for you, you kind of in your intro, it talks about you, you started this during the early days of med school. What was really your thinking at that point?

Because here, I, you know, I don't know what it's like where you are, but in the US, I think of med school is it's incredibly challenging. It's It's got a huge demand on time. It's got all these things that say like, the last thing I want, I would want to do is also take on a project to create this content. So tell us a little bit about your thinking about what, what, what was, went into that decision to start.

So the reason why I started is basically, it's not the usual reason why you start a YouTube channel. Most doctors who are on YouTube, they, Many teach medicine and many have that, have it as a vlog, so they just film their daily life and, and stuff like that. I started YouTube, uh, not with the intention of becoming a YouTuber. Um, I started first year of medical school and, uh, my brain is very visual.

Uh, I can't learn if it's only text. And we started with anatomy. I remember anatomy, uh, the university gave us a huge companion, a huge pile of a lot of written texts for anatomy. And anatomy is like basically all, it shows all organs.

You need to know all the structures on different organs. And I, there was no way I could read that, all of those texts. So I, what I did was I took, for example, we had a class on Thursday and the weekend before I just took, I just read through those notes and I tried to make a presentation with a lot of pictures. And then just to make things easier for me, I made that presentation, I just recorded it and I uploaded it to a YouTube channel so that I can listen to myself on my way to the, you know, university or on my way to the gym or anything.

And that way I would passively learn. Basically, I would be ready for the class without spending a lot of hours, you know, studying for the class. So I did that, and over time, I think I uploaded like 30 videos to that YouTube channel. I didn't have any views, but then suddenly I got like my first comments on that, on one of those videos.

And then it just struck me. I was like, okay, people can actually see those videos. I didn't know that, you know, So, um, the first ever comment I got was, thank you, that was helpful, it helped me from the past. Yeah.

And I thought, oh, if somebody actually, you know, are having, you know, they, they, those videos are actually helping them, let me, you know, try to make it a little better. Let me continue with that. And so I just did that, you know, I just tried to make the video a little better. I just, uh, I kept making all my videos for free.

I just kept uploading them. And, uh, the, the channel just grew from there. And, and, uh, what motivated me to continue YouTube was, uh, seeing all the comments of people saying that these videos actually helped them and that they passed anatomy because of those videos. Um, so that's, that's my story.

I didn't - I never had any intention of becoming a YouTuber. I just - it just happened. Well, but, but I love that, right? Because it was a born out of a need that you felt and had.

And, you know, obviously there's so much information that needs to be processed that you were doing it for yourself, but then it, it ends up helping these other people. So as you started to see that traction grow, like you got the, the first comment, you know, thank you, and then you can see people saying, oh, I passed anatomy for this. What were, you know, again, here you are very busy thinking about, like, you know, you're still doing, probably still doing it for yourself for a while to just help you move forward.

But what were the things that you kind of keyed in on that said, if I can make this better, that, that really made a difference for maybe for you, or you saw that make the biggest difference for others? Because I imagine there's lots of - you got a lot of trade-offs to make when you're particularly the videos. I've seen your videos and they're beautiful. You're using a lot of - bringing a lot of tools together to make those.

But what were some of those things you said, hey, this - if this can't - I got to make this better. If I'm going to keep doing this? Anything that stood out to you? I think one of the big changes early on in the channel was animations.

And it's so much easier to explain structures using animations. And I didn't know how to - my earlier videos was just presentations, pictures and then text, and then I would click on next slide and, you know, so I think, um, once I started trying to animate a little bit, a little, you know, transitions at least, and changing, you know, views of organs and stuff like that, people, uh, said that - that's, that's when I started seeing a change to the channel as well. That's when people, more people started commenting and saying that this, this was really helpful, uh, and a way for me to see the organ on three-dimensional, uh view, you know, and it was easier for them to visualize it as well.

So, so learning animations was, was, you know, the big, big breakthrough for my, uh, YouTube channel, if I understood the question correctly. Sorry. Yeah, no, no, that's absolutely - and what do you think of, like, so obviously seeing things in 3D, uh, was there something about that that you think helps from a learning perspective, particularly again, we're talking highly complex systems and, you know, I gotta imagine too, there's so many just like vocabulary pieces to, you know, an anatomy and then understanding all the structures and how they connect together.

Like there's so much. What do you think about animations made that difference for your audience versus just, you know, what they were seeing maybe elsewhere or what they're getting out of their books and lecture? So the way I make my YouTube videos is that I teach based on how I wish I would learn from YouTube. So for example, if the teacher said that next week we're going to learn about the peritoneum, and the peritoneum is, you know, the fat layer that, that protects all the organs within the abdominal cavity.

And if I, for the first time in my life, I heard the word peritoneum, and I go into YouTube and I open a video and I try to make videos based on how I wish that video could teach me so that I learn everything. Yeah. So I teach based on how I learn. Uh, and that's, that's basically what I continued on for the YouTube channel.

And I learn best with, uh, when organs are visualized. And not just visualize with one picture, because in order for me to understand this, this view of the organ, I need to see the lateral view, the medial view, the posterior view, and that way I have a full, you know, um, idea of how that organ not just looks like, but how it works as well. Uh, so, uh, that's why I went try to make a more 3D, uh, animated type of videos, uh, because that's how I learn. Things better.

And obviously, as far as I understood after doing that, I saw that a lot of other people also learn easier that way. So yeah, I love it. So obviously, you've been doing this for a couple years, your channel is, you know, I was looking here over 100,000 subscribers, which is amazing. Congratulations on that.

Helping. I mean, that's helping a lot of people who are moving through their medical - to their medical careers. And I'm curious now that you've kind of moved through the - and I'm sure you're always learning as a doctor, right? There's always something new.

There's always topics that, you know, you have to kind of continue growing in. But now as you're balancing this, you know, you talked about before that you were like, this is what I need to learn, and this is how I wanted to learn. As you continue, because you're continuing to do this, what are you considering as like the fodder for the topic or the material that you're like, oh, I need to make a video about this? How are you coming about those decisions at this point in your career?

Yeah, that's, that's a good question. And, and those are things that I thought about a lot. Um, when I started the YouTube channel, I started it during my first semester, and we didn't have any clinical, um, subjects at that time. We only had like just basic, uh, human physiology and basic human anatomy and stuff like that.

And I started the channel based on anatomy, and anatomy in our medical school is 1.5 years. And obviously after a year, um, I didn't cover everything, and those topics that I did cover was not that great. Um, so later on when I finished, uh, anatomy and started going into third year and fourth year of medical school and started having, you know, cardiology, neurology, and all of those clinical subjects, I thought since I started with anatomy, I want to at least finish it.

So that's basically what I did. I just went by our school curriculum. And so, for example, we had about the central nervous system, and I started, even though I had a class on cardiology, something completely irrelevant, I just made sure to set aside time to teach, make a video, for example, about the cerebral cortex, and then another video about the internal, you know, parts of the brain. And then I just continued, um, through that curriculum.

Um, and now recently, that's actually after 6 years of having that YouTube channel, I finished. I covered all the subjects of anatomy. Um, and it's not that it took me 6 years to finish it. It just took me 6 years to learn how to animate and learn how to make YouTube videos and learn how to teach and all of those, all of that package.

It wasn't just, you know, anatomy is not that hard. It's not like you need 6 years to, you know, it's, it's just, uh, the fact that, you know, learn how to make those videos and stuff like that. Um, and there was a point where I actually nearly finished the whole anatomy. I think it took me 2 years.

Uh, but then when COVID hit, we had a lot of online classes and I took a project. I thought, let me just, you know, remake all my previous videos since I have a little bit more experience now. And so that's what I did. I, uh, it took me one and a half year to remake all the previous videos that I did and make a more high, higher quality ones with, you know, um, I didn't have any microphone.

I didn't have it, you know. So, so those new, new videos were kind of Um, with, with, with a microphone, with a better visualization, stuff like that. Uh, and all my previous videos, I put them, you know, I hid them. It's private.

Um, yeah. Yeah. So now that I've finished anatomy, uh, now I'm graduated, I finished anatomy. Uh, I did make a poll and ask all my viewers, uh, all ask my subscribers on what subject they would want to learn first.

So, uh, we landed on cardiology. And so now, um, even though I'm not working in cardiology departments, I'm in emergency department right now, surgery. Um, I still, I am planning on what all covering all the subjects of cardiology because, you know, all subjects are important as a medical doctor. You need to know, you know, at least you know that knowledge of everything, not that you need to know everything in that subject, but you have a lot of knowledge of it.

Uh, so that's what I'm doing. Even though I'm not working with cardiology, I am going to cover all, uh, subjects, all the topics in cardiology. And then after that, I will move on to another subject, you know. I will just continue it that way.

And, and most of it is for my own learning. And that is actually a really important point when it comes to making an educational channel. Um, teach based on, you know, who have the, the main - your main idea, your main reason why you want to make those videos should be for your own learning. Um, and, and, and, you know, find ways, you know, teach based on how you want to be taught.

Uh, and try, try to have the idea, make the videos based, you know, because you want to learn about it. Yeah, well, well, it doesn't escape me, and, and, and I know, you know, from a language perspective, I don't know if this translates super well, but like the fact that your viewers wanted cardiology is really just a matter of the heart. You know, they loved it so much, right from the heart. But what could be time?

I'm, I love that process, right? And I love that you're talking like, you know, in educational, particularly channels, it's got to be something that you're interested in. You've got to, you know, think about the way you want to learn because there's obviously a connection there to others who want that as well. Can we, can we take a little time?

I wanna break down a little bit of what you do because again, you're, you're talking about these complex topics that obviously are, there's visuals involved, but could you at a high level at least walk us through, let's say you've got your next topic, whatever it might be, maybe it's cardiology related or maybe it's an anatomy one. And I know you just made a really great video talking about your full process, But for the purpose of our audience, we can link to that video. But just walk us through kind of your start to finish of what goes into making a video.

Are you like, you pick a topic and then, then what? And what leads you to kind of final product on, on YouTube? Sure. There's actually, I, while I've made a couple of, I've made a lot of videos, maybe 100, over 100 videos, and I never really thought about, do I have any steps on how I make those videos?

And since I have a lot of - that I get a lot of comments on asking me, yeah, I want to start a medical educational channel, but I don't know how. Do you have any tips? What programs do you use? And stuff like that.

And so that's why I decided to make that, uh, recent video. And that was actually the first time I ever showed myself as well. Uh, I, I don't really usually show myself. I, I'm really, um, embarrassed in front of the computer, in front of the camera.

But, um, that was, uh, that was a huge project that I took in. And I tried to analyze how I make videos, and I came up with 7 steps on, on, um, so if you want to make a medical education channel, the medical video, there are 7 steps you, you should go through. And the first step is plan, uh, plan the top, you know, what top, what, what is the topic you're going to present? How are you going to present it?

Um, what sources are you going to use? You know, make sure that you use sources that are up to date because when it comes to medical subjects, you have to be up to date sources and either primary sources or secondary sources on, you know, so planning is the first one. Second one is you want to start making a presentation and I keep it simple. Again, I don't have a lot of experience.

I keep it simple. I use PowerPoint, same as we used back in primary school. So PowerPoint. So make a PowerPoint presentation.

And PowerPoint has a lot of good animations you can use and, and, you know, things that you can use to make the PowerPoint presentation pretty well, uh, good looking as well. So make the presentation. The third one is make a script. Some people just talk freely following the presentation.

I like to use a script when I record. The fourth step is record. The presentation using that script and then edit that recording. And then you need to, you know, screencast that after you've just talked.

The fifth one is, you know, screencast the PowerPoint presentation over the edited recording that you just recorded. And then the sixth step, I don't know if Yeah, 6th step is, uh, edit the video, you know, add, edit the video. I use Camtasia for that one. So edit the video, um, uh, you know, add animations, add extra things that could make your video more, um, um, you know, uh, dynamic.

Yeah. And so, and the last one, the 7th step is make a The 7th step is really, you know, if you want to, uh, the 7th step I use, I use Canva to make a, you know, cover image. I try to make a description for the video, try to include everything, uh, in the description that the video includes to just to make it easier for the viewer if they want to, as more summarized version. If you don't want to watch the video, uh, you can just go to the description and just read what the video covers basically.

So those are the 7 steps. Uh, that I primarily go through. Well, no, I love that. And I love the simplicity in the sense that you're not overcomplicating it, right?

Because as someone who, again, making an assumption here that you're super busy and this is one more thing to do. If it was much harder, it becomes a barrier to getting it done, right? Again, it depends on how you look at it. For me, it's more of a lifestyle, to be honest.

I really enjoy making YouTube videos, and the reason why I enjoy it is because I learn a lot from it. And when I learn something from it, I enjoy it more. So I don't really look at it as work, even though I have long shifts at the hospital and sometimes I am tired. And when I am tired, I take a break.

I make food, I watch series, Netflix and stuff like that. But I do have personal life as well, of course. But, um, I just make sure, I just make sure to, you know, give YouTube at least 1 hour of the day, even though I'm not so efficient during that hour because I am tired. I just, you know, give it 1 hour.

As long as I just write 1 sentence, for example, I'm, I'm happy, you know. So 1 video can take 1 month, Or it can take 1 week, uh, depending on how much, how my energy level is, how much I have to do and, and, and things like that. But I just make sure to, to keep going, to keep give YouTube at least 1 hour. Well, I, I, I wanna say, I, you know, I've talked to, I mean, we're probably what, episode 207 of this show, right?

And I, so I've talked to so many different creators and people are making learning content, for corporations. I've talked to YouTube creators who are making informational type videos and have big audiences. But this is the first time I've heard this approach and I absolutely love this. And so that like, because it's very healthy.

Like if I just - you have a scheduled kind of block, I'm going to put 1 hour and whether you get a sentence or you get a full video or whatever it is, I love that because it's always making progress. And you're making effort forward. But you're, you know, what it sounds like is you're not at the end of the day. It's not about, oh gosh, I've got to meet the grind of a video a week or a video a day or whatever it is.

And I get why some people need to do that. They feel like that because it's their business model or whatever. But I think that's a really awesome approach to say, like, let's just make some progress, but do it every day consistently. And that gets you done faster than, you know, not doing anything, right?

I think that's something I want to comment on because I think every YouTuber or everyone that, that, you know, make YouTube videos, they have had a time where they feel like they need to upload something. And I really felt that during my last year of medical school because I had so much to do. You know, we had like, you needed to write a thesis and needed to study for the state exam and stuff like that. So I didn't have a lot of time for, for YouTube.

But during that time, uh, I felt like I, I really need to push myself to, to, um, make a YouTube video. I really need to push myself, you know. And, and, and that was, that was unhealthy. Uh, that was when I started having a, uh, negative, um, you know, approach to the whole you making a YouTube, making educational YouTube, uh channel.

So I did have a time when, you know, I went, I tried, I pushed myself a lot and I wasn't efficient at all. And the videos I made was not as good of a quality, which I would make usually when I, you know, make, I enjoy making the videos. So I have had a time when I really pushed myself and I figured out that this is not a good way. Uh, so you take 1 hour.

If it's 1 sentence, it's fine. If it's - you make a whole presentation just during 1 hour, that's perfect. But if you're not efficient, if it takes you 2 months even to make 1 video, that's totally fine. Uh, I'm making this channel just to teach, uh, and for my own learning as well.

And I never had the intention of becoming a YouTuber. I had intentions of teaching. And so if I start thinking that I need to upload, I have this urge, you know, to - I need to upload, I need to upload - that's when you start having this unhealthy relationship to the, to the YouTube channel. Um, so I think this is something you need to keep in mind all the time.

So even though you don't upload, um, once a week, even though you don't upload once a month, it's totally fine. Yeah, just keep that mentality. I love it. Well, we're going to go to our speed round questions.

But before we do, you know, you mentioned during our first - when we asked you about the tip at the beginning, any, any tip that you would want to tell people that maybe we haven't had a chance to talk about yet? Anything you want to mention? We'll get to our speed round and kind of final stuff, but I want to give you that chance before we, we jump in. Yeah.

So there are a lot of tips I can give if you're - at least I can give you a tip based on if you're a medical student and want to make educational videos. Or if you just want to make educational videos and you're a student or, you know, part-time next to your work or, uh, you know, uh, the first tip is, you know, start even though you don't have any experience, as I said earlier. Uh, because if you wait, if you study and study, how are you going to make the video? How are you going, you know, you will never, you will never start that way.

You just, you will just get discouraged because you feel like you're not good enough. You don't have enough experience. You. You know, so just start even though you don't have any experience.

Uh, the next tip I can give you is even though you don't have any views, just keep going. You know, have a set of goals. Like, why are you - why did you make that video to be - why did you make that YouTube channel to begin with? Is it for your own learning, or is it for, you know, if you have - do you have a plan of actually becoming a YouTuber?

Have a set of goals and just keep going, and the views will come after a while anyway. So just keep, keep uploading, keep making videos, don't get discouraged. And of course, while uploading a lot of videos, as I said earlier, when I was in last year, in the 6th year, I did feel like, you know, it was a more of a work, not a hobby. And I pushed myself and I wanted to give up on YouTube.

And that is what I also, I think is also a really important, uh, point to, to get across is don't give up when you're, you know, tired. Just keep going. It's okay to take a break, uh, but when you take a break, just keep going, keep going back to YouTube. So, um, yeah.

And yeah, I have a set of goals. Like, why did you make that YouTube channel to begin with? For me, it was to teach and learn. And that is my primary, you know, reason why I keep going on the YouTube channel.

Yeah. Well, wonderful tips and advice, things I think we can all be better at practicing. Well, time - we're going to jump into our speed round questions. For those who are new to the show or haven't listened to this part, this is where we're going to play a little stinger and then we're going to ask some answers based on a die roll.

So let's go ahead and play that and we'll jump right in. So here we go. All right, we're gonna jump over to our dice cam. So we've got this die here that we're gonna roll, and we've got a couple questions on.

Let's see if it can focus. Come on, come on. Ah, my camera doesn't want to focus for whatever reason, but I can tell you it looks like a 5. It is a 6.

There we go. There we go, it's a 6. I don't know what, what it's doing with the focus, but there it is. So with number question 6, here we go.

So this is a share a piece of advice. You've shared a lot of advice with us actually. It's really great. But what's a piece of advice that you've received that has, has had lasting impact on you?

Anything that someone said to you that's kind of changed? It doesn't have to be about video. It could be about anything, but anything that's kind of changed you or shaped you as a person. Yeah.

So I have, One thing in my - I did receive a lot of tips which have changed my life to the better, which have, you know, I've kept, you know, close to my heart. But one thing, one tip that really helped me during my, especially during my years of studying medicine, your physical health is as important as studying for your exams. Because when you are under a lot of pressure, sometimes you feel like you don't have enough time to focus on your physical health. And when you don't focus on your physical health, that impacts negatively on your mental health as well, and you get prone for depression and anxiety, all of those things.

So one tip that I received was that focus on your physical health. Try to put in at least half an hour, at least 1 hour of workout. And if you don't have time to work out, at least try to eat or lay off those sweets during those periods that you're not working out to keep the body healthy. And that's a really important tip, actually, for as a medical standpoint as well, because when the body is healthy, when you're working out, consistently, your blood flow gets optimized, your lipid level gets optimized, and all of those things.

And your blood supply, your oxygen supply to the brain gets optimized as well, which at least optimizes the functioning of the brain. And so I think that's the most important tip that I've received, and I've tried to incorporate it into my life as well, is try to keep working, uh, you know, keep workout within your daily life. I love it. So the doctor's orders, we, we got to go.

If you make sure you're doing that, make - I can't promise you to make better videos, but it can help, right? So, well, let's do another question here. I don't know, again, I don't know why my - this camera is not working. Hang on, try this again.

There we go. It's still blurry, so we're gonna go with, uh, blurry, and everyone's just gonna have to trust me. But there we go, we rolled the 12. Okay, so this is the next question for you is what's your one go-to tool that helps you get your job done on a regular basis?

This could be a piece of software, it could be a physical piece of gear, it could be anything. We'll, we'll focus on your, your video creation side, not maybe your medical side, because I'm sure it's a whole different set of tools. But is there one tool or a piece of equipment that you go to as your go-to? Yeah, there is.

There's one tool that I use for everything, actually. It's a to-do list. It's on an app called Microsoft To-Do List. And what I like to do the day before, so for example, today, I try to plan tomorrow.

So I try to make it as detailed as possible to the point where I even write what I am going to eat for breakfast and from what time to what time. So for example, I'm going to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and from 5:30 to 6, I'm going to take a shower and breakfast and then keep making, planning my day that way. And it has helped me being more efficient during the day because sometimes some days when I haven't planned anything, I try to be efficient, but I feel like I haven't been efficient at all, um, because everything that I want to do, I haven't had time to do it.

So when I have this to-do list, I just, you know, check off those points. And at the end of the day, I feel like this day has been a really efficient day because I finished off so many points. So Microsoft To Do, or any to-do list app, I think everybody's - everyone should at least try to incorporate it into their lives. It has helped me being more efficient, uh, during my studies and work and YouTube and everything.

I love it. Perfect. Great advice. Let's do one more here.

It's still going to be blurry, but that's okay. And we've rolled a, a 5. So this time - so, okay, this, this is a fun one because you're even, uh, you are a great person of learning, right? So if you could instantly acquire a new skill, like, just like that, what would that skill be and why?

So you get that superpower, you get to pick up one skill perfectly instantly, what would it be? I've actually, you know, to be honest, I am not a person who picks up information quickly. And I can use my little brother as an example. He's also studying med - he, he, he's, he used, he studied medicine, uh, one year.

Uh, so I was in, you know, how was this? Yeah. How was I gonna formulate this one? Um, yeah, my little brother is also in med school, and my - if you want to compare my little brother with me, he's a type who only reads a sentence once and he understands it.

Like, he just sticks in his brain. I have to, uh, put in a lot of work. I have to put in a lot of work. I have to study.

I have to draw it. I have to visualize it. I have to, you know, I have to do a lot more. And so if this one thing I could actually try, wish I could acquire is learn information just by reading it once or something like that.

That would be amazing. Yeah. But then again, if you learn things just straight away, it takes away the hard working part, if that makes sense. Yeah, it does.

Well, we'll just say your brother gets the benefit of watching all your videos though. So, you know, Exactly. He just, he just reads one page and then starts gaming or something. He's listening to those videos you made.

I can guarantee it. Well, well, time. This has been just a wonderful conversation. I appreciate you spending some time with me.

Before we wrap up, if someone wanted to go watch your videos, go, go learn from you, you know, connect with you, where, where should they go? Uh, so obviously it's a YouTube channel. That's, that's, uh, the main page where I upload all my, uh, videos. But I did recently make an Instagram account.

Uh, so if anybody wants to, you know, contact me, have questions, uh, want to follow me on social media, I, I have, uh, an Instagram account for the YouTube channel called Time Talks Med. So go follow it. You know, subscribe to the channel and yeah, that's perfect. We'll link to those in the comments and descriptions and all that stuff.

So if anyone wants to find those easily, you can. Well, with that said, Taim, again, appreciate you so much. We always like to ask our guests for their final take, kind of that summary, the wrap-up for our show. For you, Taim, what is your final take from today's conversation?

Well, just to wrap up, uh, what I said earlier is that if you are a student, especially in medical school, and want to teach medicine, I urge you to start without any experience. Just start and then learn along the way. And the beautiful thing about the teaching is that when you teach, you learn more. When you teach, um, you're - the information that you've learned stays in the brain for a longer period of time, and you can build on that one easier.

So teaching is actually the best form of learning. Time. This has been fantastic. I want to thank you again for joining me in the Visual Lounge, and, and thank you for all the great videos that you make.

And, you know, as someone who, uh, I'm, I'm not in the medical field at all, but I do have friends and I understand how challenging it is, I'm sure there's many people who are very appreciative for all the work you're, you're doing. So thank you. Thank you very much, Matt, and thank you for inviting me to this channel. Absolutely, absolutely glad to have you.

So, all right, everybody, that - isn't this awesome? You know, and we talked a lot about medical school and medicine and things like that, but this applies to - you could apply this to any field. The things that Time is doing, the conversations that he's having, the ways that he's teaching, educating, learning - it doesn't have to be medicine, but he's doing it really well. So go check out his channel, go check out his stuff, Of course, we're all about teaching and educating here at TechSmith as well.

We want you to be better. We want you to be better at making videos, better at using images in your workplace, whatever that might be. So we hope that, you know, like and subscribe so you can learn from more great people like Tyne. Like and subscribe so you can never miss an episode.

And of course, what we really want is for you to take a little time to level up every single day. Thanks, everybody.
